private chef

There are few pleasures as joyful as opening your home to those you care about most and sharing a meal with them.

There are also few as stressful, and that’s where I come in. As a private chef, I’ll take the pressure off, leaving you to enjoy time with your guests.

I’ll create a menu where every plate tells a story—of the seasons, the soil, and the skilled hands that bring it all together. My private chef service is a celebration of local ingredients, thoughtfully sourced from suppliers and producers I trust.

Whether you're hosting an intimate dinner party, a special celebration, or a corporate gathering, I’ll craft menus that reflect the best of what’s fresh and in season.
